There is a symbolic Mandela Effect concerning gun control and the insurance system.
Because for Americans the legal basis for gun possession is the Second Amendment to the Constitution, which recognizes the right of the people (or a well-regulated militia) to keep and bear arms, even when it is for hunting, competitions, or hobbies (collecting), as a matter of legal theory it still falls under the treatment of armament. In Japan as well, possession of guns is permitted; what is not recognized is the people’s right to be armed. In Japan too you can possess a gun for hunting or sport, and for hobbies (collecting) there are things like deactivated real firearms. However, gun owners are not permitted to organize militia groups and the like. Also, Americans too have demand for guns for hunting or competition and so on. When written like this, it may seem like a neat and orderly story, but here is where the problem starts: in America, both the gun-control camp and the right-to-bear-arms camp jumble together and blur the discussion of gun possession and the discussion of the right to be armed, and, as you can see on videos on places like YouTube, there are cases where, on the grounds that a machine gun—which is a military firearm—is optimal for mass pest eradication, people go hunting with military machine guns, and there exist shooting competitions using military guns, as “tactical shooting (combat shooting)” and so on. Also, it could be said that even in Japan the strict delineation between gun regulation and the right to be armed has ambiguous aspects. Incidentally, “Guns don't kill, people do.” has a follow-up: “I don't give a damn if think I'm rude.” In America it is primarily gun regulation, and in Japan it is primarily (private and public) insurance systems and services, that may be serving as symbolic embodiments of the mystery of how poverty, illness, conflict, and disaster in this world are disciplined and governed. (Is this also where things like breakdowns sometimes occurring, and rebuilding happening, come from?) Also, the author, back when…
